You could upload them to YouTube etc (providing you're not wanting to sell the content) then embed the player in your pages...

Hi Matt,

Not sure if this will answer your question but came across this free flash player today.

There's also a tutorial about compressing video for use in flash. Havn't used it myself but looking to when I get a chance.

Riva FLV Encoder is mentioned in that tutorial. Again havn't used it so don't know how good it is.

Your original code:

<div class="flvPlayer"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/37.33.flv&amp;autoStart=false;"></p>
<param name="movie" value="http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/shootout37.33.flv&amp;autoStart=false;" /></object></div>

Yes, it doesn't work for me, it may be related to the fact that on the end of your data= value you have &amp;autoStart=false; I suggest you knock that off the data statement, and if you want to disable autoStart put it in its own parameter statement, i.e.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/37.33.flv" autoStart="false">

It's the data statement that looks to be the problem, you could also try putting a direct reference to the flash file instead, see also:

Hmm ... another one on a different page does work for me:

<div class="flvPlayer"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/bream1-sml.flv&amp;autoStart=false;"></p>
<param name="movie" value="http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.japmetal.co.uk/media/bream1-sml.flv&amp;autoStart=false;" /></object></div>

so I guess its not the autoStart that's the problem. One suggestion I have is the one that is not working uses a full stop in the file name, i.e. shootout37.33.flv, maybe try renaming the file so it doesn't have the full stop in, as that could possibly be interfering.
